speaking mere directly or actresses,
! fohdly trust that none of us may take
pattern OF Miss Eastlalle, who was the
wicked ''Helle" to Wilson Barrett's
elite" Miss Eastlake said, with evil
dent distaSte. that she would never have
herself photographed in that character.
She felt that she did good work in it, but
she never wanted people to look at her
picture ana associate her with woman
of that sort. Yet mark you
81 HOW SHE APPEARED
before her audiences. "a good deal of
interest," she coolly sal l, "has been ex-
cited by my gowns in that play, and GU
riOSity expressed as to how ] arrived at
such effects. My wig is copied from Il
statue in the British museum. and [
went there to study for my costumes,
and they are archa ologically correct.
First wear silk tights that come up
to my arms and faSten over the shout
derS: then there are three India silk
petticoatS that faSten on to the inner
side of the peplum. The India silk is
the finest made, and is almost as light as
gauZe. TO give you a conception of the
exquisite tEinneSS and S0ftnesS of it, the
drapery alone that wear is sixteen yards
inlength and four yards wide, and yet
when sit down it falls around me so
plainly that every part of my figure is
Sharply outlined" Truly it'did. Every
crease and dimple in Miss EastTake,
from shoulders to hips, was clearly
shown; and it was not; so much admira-
ton as establishment; that the gentler
spectators felt. 80 -'''- ~ 81
FASHIONS AND FABRICS
are pretty we'll settled for the coming
summer. Pin stripes will not be as pop
ular this season as last They will be
worn to some extent, but the craze has
died out. Wider stripes will be fash
ionable, but in buying fine goods do not
forget that stripes and plaids are
more largely used i'll combina-
s Seas te CHECKS s0r M sh en 5e 4 pon
lar for entire suits, but for fine tailor
made costumes plain fabrics, such as
tric0ts, SergeS or plain mixtures are the
most stylish. CrOSSbarred and striped
cloth in two shades of the same color,
blue, brown, plum or gray, or in sub
dued shades of two colorS. are chosen
for the jaunty jackets intended for in
dependent use, also the plain cloths in
suede and tan shades, and the
favorite cheviots in fine checks.
The popular combination dresses
promise to be those of cashmere draped
over silk skirts, as they are imported in
great variety; these are to be commended
because they can be worn nearly all the
year in this climate, are suitable alike
for the house and street, and need not
cost a great deal, as they require no
extra trimming. There are, however,
some very handsome passementeries
and fringeS used on the more elab-
6rate French cashmere dresses. Cameo
STRIPED silks in several shades of one
color are shown, and are intended for
3Spring wear with skirts of the new
cream laces III quaint designs. These
silks are of rich quality of faille, and
Iarei sometimes made UP with skirts of
;plain faille matching one of the tones
of the striped silk. Indian silks will be ex-
aclusively worn the coming summer, and
are shown in striped or large lowered
designs, with creamOr white grounds
and dark velvet, matching the figure of
the silk in color, will be used as trim
innings, with applique lace resembling
embroidery set upon the velvet. Black
and white is again
Z A POPULAR COMBINATION.
( Silks, pushes and goods of all grades
show black and white effects in stripes,
brocaded figures, polka-dOts, fine-line
stripes and the tiny dots and points
which are now especially favored. All
black costumes find favor this spring as
heretofore, and many elegant effects are
noted in the more expensive, which,
with trimmings of black lace or fine jet,
make the most stately toilets for women
of all ages. Large quantities of lace will
be used upon the coming seasons millin-
cry. 1t will be used as facing upon the
brfms of hats and bonnets, in rolls as
trimming, and full, loose puffs will form
entire crowns. White dresses promise
to be more generally worn than ever
before, and many of the new materials
are very dainty and beautiful. One of
the most elegant of the white wool dress
materials is albatross, with satin woven
figures and polka dots in white scattered
over the surface. 1t may be used in COM
bination with plain albatross or with
silk, CLARA BELL e.
